University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus?

Amy

Honestly, the only issue that tends to frustrate me is the lack of consideration for students. During the week prior to final examinations each semester the work load is supposed to be light or non-existant so that students may properly prepare for said exams. The issue is that, generally, the professors tend to cram as much information into that last week so that the students feel "prepared." This ultimately adds to the stress of trying to study, especially when the students are juggling working and going to school full-time.

The most frustrating thing about my school would be the parking. Now, I know a lot of people probably complain about parking here and they are working on fixing problems in the near future with more parking garages; however, that does not help the people in the present. I think with the schools increase of the Freshman class they should also increase with the places for people to park and make a complete housing parking permit instead of priority and just the "regular" housing permits. They get enough money through citations anyways.

The campus dinning is not very good. Most of the food is processed or fast food and there are not many healthy options.

Stacey

The most frustrating thing about the school is the crowds of people in the morning. It is very difficult to find a parking space if you do not get to campus early enough. Eventually, you figure out where you can park for free and how much time you need to walk a greater distance to classes.

Oklahoma University is great but its a fairly large community. Unlike community college, instuctors do not seem as invested in helping students succeed in their course. Also, it is difficult to resolve issues one might have because it is hard to find the right person who can help you with your problem and when you do find the right person, they aren't answering their phone or they are not in their office.

Living in the dorms is frustrating for me. Being an out of state student the tuition is expensive and it is important to me that I study and get good grades. Many people that live in the dorms don't think that same way.

Olivia

There are a lot of people so you have to make an effort to be known and stand out.

It is in Oklahoma. I would much rather be in Texas with my family and friends.

The most frustrating thing I have encountered is the cold, harsh Oklahoma weather. Imagine that! Being from Beaumont, Texas, we have cold days in the winter but I have never experienced freezing weather where the temperature drops below 40 degrees and it actually snows. Thought it may be exciting to see snow that remains on the ground for over a few hours, I no longer look forward to it because so many students have complained about the horror of being snowed in. Now, the true meaning of "windchill facto" is crystal clear. Sadly, the worst has yet to come.

OU is amazing. Enough said!
